# x402-gateway: Photo to 3D Model (Fast)

> x402-gateway: Photo to 3D Model (Fast) is a paid API for AI agents from x402.freeq.one, paid per call via x402, $0.15/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Converts a single 2D image URL into a textured low-poly GLB 3D mesh with a preview thumbnail in 10-30 seconds, billed per call in USDC on Base.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-gateway-photo-to-3d-model-fast-5b345ea9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this product photo at https://x402.freeq.one/samples/toy.png and convert it into a 3D GLB model — I need a fast result, the low-poly game-ready version is fine.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast (10-30s) 3D GLB asset from a single photo and can accept low-poly geometry. Prefer it over the high-detail tier when speed matters more than polygon fidelity, such as rapid prototyping, game-ready assets, or real-time 3D previews. Ideal for single-object or product images with clean backgrounds. Not suitable for multi-object scenes, photorealistic high-fidelity needs, or text-to-3D workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 status — endpoint cannot fetch the source image
- Image contains multiple objects or complex scenes — reconstruction quality degrades significantly
- Non-transparent or non-white background may reduce mesh accuracy
- USDC payment on Base fails or is insufficient — request rejected with 402
- Timeout if the source image is very large or slow to download
- Malformed or non-image URL provided — returns an error response

## How this service works

Photo to 3D Model (fast): Photo to 3D model (fast tier, 10-30s). Upload a single 2D image URL, get a textured low-poly GLB mesh with a preview thumbnail. Game-ready — drop straight into Three.js, Unity, or Godot. Pay per call in USDC on Base via x402 — POST https://x402.freeq.one/tools/photo_to_3d_fast.

## Output

A JSON response containing a GLB 3D mesh file (textured, low-poly, game-ready) and a preview thumbnail image. The GLB can be loaded directly into Three.js, Unity, Godot, or any GLB-compatible renderer.
